Bramble:
(1.) Hebrew atad, Jdg 9:14; rendered "thorn," Psa 58:9. The LXX. and Vulgate render by rhamnus, a thorny shrub common in Palestine, resembling the hawthorn.
(2.) Hebrew hoah, Isa 34:13 (R.V. "thistles"); "thickets" in 1Sa 13:6; "thistles" in 2Ki 14:9, 2Ch 25:18, Job 31:40; "thorns" in 2Ch 33:11, Sgs 2:2, Hsa 9:6. The word may be regarded as denoting the common thistle, of which there are many species which encumber the corn-fields of Palestine. (See THORNS.)
